Be a new creature in Christ Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Forgiveness-Knowing but Not Obeying

No more bitterness nor anger,
Start forgiving and forgetting,
For in Jesus, we’re forgiven,
May we repent, by grace resetting.

Turn your fears, into faith;
Your adversity, to adventure;
Claim God’s promises, believe;
Jesus’ victory, on your venture.

For He takes, the useless;
What others deplore;
In His Hand, always hope;
From these, brings so much more.

Be not ashamed, of the Gospel;
‘Tis the power of God;
To salvation for everyone;
Who believes, responds.

And see beyond, sinful behavior;
Respond, forgiving with God’s love;
Not with our feelings, but His Spirit
Will give grace, from above.

For His grace is sufficient,
His strength perfected, in my weakness,
Will gladly boast, in my infirmities,
Christ’s power rest, on me in meekness.

So have we died with Christ
Our flesh on the Cross?
Are we carnal and selfish
Or count all things as loss?

For we’re losing our lives
Jesus requires self-denial
Take the way of His cross
‘Tis God’s path for survival.

Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.

With each worldview different answers,
Made in God’s image, Judeo-Christian.
With only Jesus addressing evil,
Conquered sin, restores and listens.
